oh! so I should have some clips. maybe they are in there. don't remember them, but it would have been 20 years ago now.

I got the feeling it will. as I said, it wasn't with the rest of the junkyard, more in a side yard with other more complete rigs. I'm bummed I forgot to inquire into it.

found these in the TN 'yard yesterday. the scrambler was not with the other junkers but I forgot to ask the story behind it. also saw some OG broncos, a scout, and some remains of 60s muscle cars. wish I could have wandered more, but it's not that kind of yard.

body color flares were kinda rare.

the looks of the KJs are helped by the flat top conversion (or just buying a later KJ Renegade to begin with).

I have them on my 88 and love 'em. they simply tuck into the window channel.

found this image though if you want to look into AWS's current offerings (I don't know how old the image is)

just spent 2 days in the Durango and started the trip with the cumulative works of Collective Soul. been a while since I've heard them straight through. it was nice. no videos, you can look them up yourself. used to listen to them (the first 6 albums anyway) every night for an hour and change when I went for walks with the dogs back in the day. for years. never ever got tired of them.

annnnnnnnnd I now own one. came free with this most recent bed purchase can't use it in the trailer though as it's an under rail. maybe someday I'll find some bed caps and change my mind but I love my trailer being water tight up front and along the upper edges.

every time especially during a later one when the judge remembered my case from the last time and how laughable that one was.

sold the brown shortbed on the trip to MI and replaced it with a red longbed before I even got back to GA.

My stash no longer resides in a city. we sold that house so those days are behind me. but I still won each and every case vs the city of Riverview and none of it cost me a dime since they were also harping on my lawyer friend about his yard and he had an ax to grind. nothing like bringing a constitutional lawyer that works for several giant corporations to a tiny city court over a supposed parking violation.

nah, you gotta earn such a title with fights with your city and family and neighbors.

the trailer is kinda full of other parts at the moment. patience

in a junkyard. no other info yet. will update as I learn more.

20 years of doing this will produce good ideas now and again.

only if Azzy swings by and does it themselves. feel free to encourage them to do that.

I do believe Rustys also sells 4.5 leafpacks. not sure about General Spring. but those are the 3 big names in on-the-shelf MJ leafs so that's where you should look.

flood vs spot all depends on how you use your truck. I went with flood on my led bar on the Libby because if I'm ever someplace where I truly need to see 200 yards down the road because I fear a deer strike, I slow the heck down. plus I really like being able to see EVERYTHING within 50 yards of the windshield, no matter where I point my eyes. not applicable when on roads with oncoming traffic of course.

that Jeep is in good hands ready to tackle the next couple decades

I'd suggest driving around chicago best to give it a wide berth. looks like my shortest path is 10.5 hrs, but I rarely do that since I can't not also hunt for parts.

you're not going to find one. I would start a new thread with a title that states what you're looking for and where you are and cross your fingers. more eyes equals a better chance of success. people that already own one might not be checking in on this thread.

found this in a super old folder on my computer

the first gen Libbys had 2 different choices for 4bangers with one being turbocharged (the diesel) both are rare as heck though. I don't spend a ton of time on second gen Libby sites, but I hear that later 3.7s have better longevity. but then 1st gen can easily go past 200k. or blow up. one of the other. and sometimes even both!
